ROUGH WEATHER,
Wreck OF the Schooner J. III. EeIs-Only
Two OF the Crew Saved.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mase., March l6.
The steam tug Underwater arrived today
with Mate Olson and Seaman Andrew Ander-
son, both of Norway, belonging to the
schooner j. II. Eels of Rockport. Me, which
vessel sailed from this port last Sunday
night with cargo of iron from New York
for Boston. They had fine weather to High
land Light, when they encountered violent
northeast snow storm which blew away the
Jib. They were obliged TO put the vessel be-
fore the gale and run back on Nantucket
shoals under close reefed sails. The vessel
labored hard and leaked badly. The cap
tain, finding the pumps unable to keep her
free and to prevent her from sinking, ran
ashore on sand bar about three miles from
Nansett Light. Soon after the vessel struck
everything movable was washed from the
deck by the heavy sea. The crewwas obliged
to take 10 the rigging.
AT dark on the 10Th Capt. Fred Wallace of
Rockport, Me-, lashed himself to the fore
stay, but at daylight this morning nothing
was seen of him. He had been washed away
during the night. The cook, belonging in
Rockland, name unknown, was dashed to the
ioremast, but died at 8 o'clock last night
from exposure. The two seamen saved
managed to keep from freezing by pounding
each other till daylight.
The Underwater was from Boston for this
port. She arrived at the wreck at this
morning and Immediately sent boats crew
who succeeded with great difficulty in rescu
ing the two seamen who were alive but Oh
account of the high sea running were unable
to rescue the body of the cook lashed in the
rigging. The two men saved were badly
frost-bitten and were taken to the Marine
Hospital for treatment The vessel will

PLUNGED INTO AN ABYSS.
A Horrible Accident Nhicn Beteii
Mixed Train, in Which Several Men
Meet Death.


PARKERsBuRG, w. Va, March l6.
A horrible accident happened twelve miles
from here this morning on the Marietta Min
eral railroad heavy mixed train had just
passed Vincent station, when the train dlvld-
ed in order to cross more safely trestle of
90 feet. The first section passed all right,
when the engine bearing Engineer ii. 5 Vim
cent, Fireman Albert Bushley, Brakeman
Stewart, Conductor McCov and passenger
named Early, returned for section two. When
the highest point OF the trestle was reached
the engine gave a sudden jerk and plunged
straight down to the abyss below, carrying
all on board with it.
Vincent and Bushley were instantly killed,
and their bodies were scarcely recognizable.
Conductor Mccoy was under the heavy en-
CINE nearly halt an hour before he was taken
out. The escaping steam probably fatally
scalded his head, face and body
Brakeman Stewart was terribly scalded
and there is but faint hopes of his recovery.
Early, the passenger, had both legs broken
and injured internally. He is said to be dy-
ing. The place into which the engine
plunged is a yawning abyss at the bottom of
which is a rocky stream.

Accident was not in the Bridge.
BosToN, March l6.

BosToN, March l6.
The railroad commissioners continued the
investigation into the cause of the Forest
Hills accident today. George Richards,
master mechanic of the Boston & Providence
road tor sixteen years, testified as TO the
condition of the wreck when he arrived at
the scene of the disaster. His description
:alies with those already published. He
further said that the telescoping of the cars
seemed to indicate that there must have been
a break in some part of the train. Anything
that would suddenly stop the forward part OF
a train would cause such a telescoping.
Either the break of truck or wheel or n
derallment would cause it. simple derail-
ment would not cause trucks to come off
when the train was going fifteen miles an
hour, if on frozen ground. The witness
thought the cause of the accident was q par
tial derailment which must have taken place
on the bridge there was no signs of such
on the Roshndale side. He had not seen the
seepers on the bridge to note whether there
were any signs of derailment on them. The
trucks of the third car must have struck the
abutment. The telescopng must have taken
place on the bridge before the abatment was
struck The bridge must have been in good
condition when the locomotive struck it.
